| Post subject: | Electronic V regulators- gauges |
Well, I put Wombat's MK1 electronic V regulator into Barney yesterday, with a new temp sender too (the old one was a non-Mini). Surprise surprise, the temp and fuel gauges now read normally! 
The old regulator must have been toasted- the fuel gauge needle used to go hide behind the speedo face when full, and it read 1/4 when it was empty! 
Thanks, Wombat!

All fixed now though... Barney's previous keeper modified the wiring so the 3 clock binnacle screws onto the trim. And it has a Clubbie plate over the hole. All the wiring is lengthened, so I can sit in the car, undo 4 screws, put my hand between binnacle and trim to undo the speedo cable, then it will sit on my lap! After I decouple the oil gauge pipe.. <edit> The cable is longer than stock, could be early Clubbie. It's a good setup. I'll modify Mini-Ha-Ha as well at Xmas, saves fighting with the wiring thru the little dash hole as you just did..
